Feud (G)
Useful handicapper at best. Out of sorts recently, 33/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) 22 days ago. On handy mark but only considered if supported.

Runner-up both bumpers and went one better in Galway maiden hurdle on reappearance in October (solid form). Still looked in need of experience when well held fifth in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 15/2) last time and…

Immutable (G)
Fairly useful on Flat. Promising winner of Cork maiden hurdle (Pinot Gris in third) prior to 18-month lay-off. Ran well on Flat prior to going too hard back over hurdles at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 14/1) 38 days ago. Could be worth another…

Black Bamboo (G)
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 33/1) 35 days ago. Down in trip but appears to have returned in a lull.

Chichester Park (G)
Chased home promising pair when encouraging third on hurdle debut prior to finding less than looked likely in a bumper. Back on track over hurdles when winning 13-runner novice hurdle (3/1) at this course (16.1f, soft) 29 days ago. Makes h…

Garrybello (G)
Shaped well from long way back when third at Kilbeggan on last hurdles start and ran creditably on Flat when last seen in July. Drops back to 2m on hurdles return but is well-treated on best form and booking of Jack Kennedy catches the eye…

Fiver Friday (M)
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who has made an encouraging start for Gavin Cromwell, took strong hold when second of 11 in competitive and well-run handicap hurdle at this course (16.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago, no match for winner. I…

Free Flow (G)
C&D winner in March (sole success) and step back in right direction when 33/1, creditable seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) 22 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Return to this course offers some hope but oth…

Piccolo Player (G)
Beat subsequent winner to land a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick in heavy ground in November but has since found graded/listed handicap company too hot. Still early days and this looks more realistic.

Shinnhill (G)
Comfortable winner of a 14-runner novice hurdle (7/2) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) on qualifying run in July 2024. Off since (left Neil McKnight) but one to consider if market vibes are positive on handicap/stable debut.
